Lorraine Tighe

Mother-of-two, Lorraine Tighe was born in London and left school at 16. Since then she has gone on to be the top sales person in every company she has ever worked for. Talkative Lorraine admits to having very little education and has endured many trials and tribulations throughout her life. She sums up her attitude to business as the ability to drive a dead horse to the winning line.

She says: "I've fought against all the odds. I'm a single mum with no education and I've had a very hard time. It is tough, but to have the confidence I have I should be very proud of myself."

She could do alright but it will depend on how the others get on with her and whether she can handle living in a house with a lot of young arrogant attitudes around her.

My favourite so far, she looks really friendly and her quote and backstory doesn't strike me as pretencious in the slightest. Hope she goes far =)

I find it hard to believe that of all the tens of thousands who applied to this show, she is among the top 12. She is either exceptional in academia or business or she was chosen because she would make 'good television' given her background. I suspect the latter.

I'm in no doubt that she will be liked and popular but is that enough?
